Page Six: Clintons won’t support Weiner in mayoral bid

Will this kill our chances for all sorts of double-entendre jokes over the next few months? If true, it’s certainly going to raise questions about Anthony Weiner’s ability to attract support — if even his wife’s closest friends aren’t getting on board:

Bill and Hillary Clinton will not support Anthony Weiner in his dream of becoming mayor even though they love his wife, Huma Abedin, sources say. “The Clintons wish Weiner would just disappear. Every time he pops up, it’s a reminder of Bill’s scandal withMonica Lewinsky, and it isn’t helpful to Hillary’s hopes for 2016,” one Democrat told Page Six. Abedin has worked for the former US senator and secretary of state for many years, and traveled with her as her “body woman,” her closest aide. It is believed that Abedin is still on the Clintons’ payroll although she isn’t working at the Clinton Foundation. Abedin will no doubt be one of Hillary’s first hires for her presidential campaign team. “The Clintons love Huma. She has a job for life, no matter how much of an embarrassment her husband is,” said our source.

And they have a pretty good track record of having that happen, so maybe Weiner just better play nice and get a quiet desk job out of the public eye until Hillary is safely president. If he knows what’s good for him.

Of course they won’t support Weiner. They are supporting their little Huma. That’s a no brainer. It’s easier to promote Islam that way. Islam is the answer, not a sex pervert like Bill. It’s just sex, you know. It gets in the way of ruling the world or something.
